I took a photo of all my tinies. They are each from a different company and are quite a variety of sizes and shapes. In the back from left to right: Planetdoll Riz, Elfdoll Winkie, Pukipuki Pongpong, Lati Yellow Lami. In the front on the left is a baby Hujoo (in ABS, not resin) and Orientdoll White Chocolate Vampire So.

Valentine wanted to try her hand at photography, but Penny was not cooperating!

Josefina has the largest area in the doll room for her house because I love the style of southwestern and Mexican furnishings more than any other. It didn't make sense for her to ramble around her home all alone, so I gave her a sister, Clara. Clara is a #44 with the wig from #55.

Here are all three of my Montoyas. Marisol is now named Esperanza and is a cousin who lives with Josefina.

The rancho is being remodeled so I'm not sharing photos yet. I purchased some miniature tiles in Mexico that I want to incorporate and I need to make a better adobe fireplace for the sala.

This is Hoppy, my husband's childhood stuffy. He still has all his limbs, but was very well loved.

Hoppy and my childhood Teddy Bear hang out together in a glass cabinet.

Next, a few people have asked me about the sizes of Tiny Riley and a mini American Girl. I photographed Peter (who is regular Riley size), mini Josefina, Tiny Riley and my Nancy Ann Storybook Doll all together. You can see why I think of Tiny Riley as being so petite.

And finally, today's photo shows Elizabeth (on the right) meeting a new friend. She's a little intimidated by new girl's perfect blonde hair and shiny body. I hope they get along!

It has been cold enough here for the snow to linger longer than usual. However, with the bright sunshine we can't help but be tempted to go outside. It was my first chance to take photos of Tiny Riley by Helen Kish. She certainly is tiny, being smaller even than Riley. I actually knit this jumper to be a sweater for Riley, but decided it could be a dress for the tiny one. She still doesn't have a name!

Tiny Riley is standing in front of the boat house by the lake in the first photo. It's not much of a lake right now because they drained it last fall to do some work on it. In the summer you can rent paddle boats on the lake, but I don't know if it will be full enough by next summer. It could take years to refill, depending on how much water there is available.

The "danger" sign warns people to stay off the ice because it is not cold enough here for good solid ice to form.

The sign doesn't make much sense anyway, since the lake is now just a field!

I need to downsize and went through my Blythe dolls about 6 months ago and put some aside. These are the Blythe dolls that I cannot bear to part with will be staying. My choice is the same as it was then. Now to figure out what to do with the ones that will not be staying.
